From a small group of religious students formed in 1994, the Taliban quickly grew into a national movement that occupied all of Afghanistan.

When the Americans overthrew the Taliban in 2001, the United States thought the regime had been defeated.

Yet more than a decade later, the Taliban continue to wage a bloody insurgency.

In this extraordinary and compelling account of the rise, fall, and return of the Taliban, award-winning author James Fergusson presents the reality of the movement so often mischaracterised in the press while asking provocative yet necessary questions about the current strategy in Afghanistan.

Says one GoodReads reviewer: “With the Taliban now reaching out for peace, the suggestions in this book are slowly becoming reality. No foreign power - from Alexandra the Great through the British Empire and Russia to the USA - has ever won here.”

Taliban by James Fergusson is a fully updated 2011 edition published by Corgi, London. It is a 416-page 12.5x30cm paperback in very good condition with two sections of photographs.

It is subtitled The True Story of the World’s Most Feared Guerilla Fighters.
